I he commissioner of pensions has
iHb «ed an order which will prevent
clerks in the pension department from
practicing medicine while off duty.
^he or der states that if any clerk or
employe of the pension bureau shall
attend patients as a physician or modi
cal advisor it will be regarded as suffi
cieut gronnd for removal from the bu
ream Tho danger of bringing conta
gious diseases to the other clerks is too
great, so the commissioner thinks.
Moreover, it is a calling likely to keep
thc clerks and employes up at night
and thus unfit them for work during
tho day.
Wanted Carlisle’s Scalp.
Inklings of an unusually sensational
story leaked out at Washington Wed
nesdny. Tho story, too, has many of
Bie ear-marks of verity. It relates to
Secretary Carlisle and the rumors of
his removal published recently by the
New York newspapers, and comes
from a southern congressman, who
gives Secretary Carlisle himself as his
informant. It seems that on Monday
«T. Pierpont Morgan, the big New York
banker, called on the president. He,
it is alleged, made a formal demand
upon the president that Secretary Car
lisle’s resignation bo asked for. He
presented also a letter from the heads
of many of the strongest financial iu
sti'utions in New York.
Ho informed the president that, in
case this was not done, the administra
tion, instead of securing the aid of the
New York bankers, would meet with
their opposition. President Cleveland,
it is reported, politely but firmly aa
sured Mr. Morgan that ho would not
ask for Mr. Carlisle’s resignation, but,
on the contrary, ho told him that Mr.
Carlisle was making a splendid offi¬
cial, satisfying both the country und
* he and, mrt, ad of ro
questing ills resignation, he intended
to back him up in his financial plans
*° fullest extent of his power. Mr.
Morgan is said to have returned to
New York in high dudgeon.
Tho dissatisfaction over Mr. Car¬
lisle among the New York bankers is
due to tho last bond issue. The syn¬
dicate, which purchased these bonds
with the idea of clearing millions by
the transaction, has lost money on
account of tho feeling in linn- iial cir
oles that Mr. Carlisle’s biU will be
come a law. In such a case, the
bonda ™ ukl n °t play so important a
JVirt. These financiers declare that
Mr. Carlisle broke faith with them
after getting them to buy the bonds
at the lowest rate of interest ever
known in this country and then launch¬
ing legislation which took away much
of their value.

FORTY-ONE KILLED.
Awful Fate of a Christmas Party in
Oregon.
At Silver Lake, Lake county, Ore
gon, Christmas eve, while a large party
was attending a Christmas tree, a lamp
exploded, causing a fire, in which for¬
ty-one persons were burned to death
aud fifteen injured. The gathering
had assembled at a hall above Christ
man Bro.’s store and consisted of
children who, with their parents and
relatives, were having a grand time,
enjoying what Santa Claus had brought
them, little dreaming that many of
them would never leave the building
alive. The Lakeview Examiner says:
“Some one attempted to get where
he could see and hear better by jump¬
ing upon a bench in the middle of the
hall. In doing so his head struck a
lamp hanging from the ceiling, caus¬
ing the oil to run out, which immedi¬
ately caught fire.
“People were compelled to go
through the flames in order to reach
the door and frantically rushed to
their doom. Five of the injured will
likely die. The building was a two
story structuie, including the post
office, and the entire stock of goods of
Christman Bros, was consumed.”
Silver Lake is over a hundred miles
from Klamath Falls, and a stage with
Lakeview papers bronght the news to
the latter place.

THE NEW KEG DIE.
NEW YORK’S REPUBLICAN OFFI
CIALS TAKE CHARGE.
Sloyton Inaugurated Governor and
Strong Takes the Mayor’s Chair.
At Albany, Tuesday, Hon. Levi P.
Morton was inaugurated as governor
of the state of New York for the
ensuing two years. He is the
fir.-t republican to assume the dn
tits of this office since 1879. In
augnration day broke cold and clear
and the sfreets of Albany were enliv
ky the P & 7 uniforms of staff and
military officers on their way to the
capitol.
Although the inaugural ceremonies
were set for 11 o’clock, the assembly
chamber was comfortably filled an
^our before tnat time. The eert-mo
nit '* were presided over by Secretary
of State Pulmer. It was but a few
minutes after 11 o’clock when lit.Rev.
Bishop William Crosswell Doane open
ed tiie exercises with prayer. Gov
ernor Flower then welcomed the gov
ernor-elect. Mr. Morton then took
the constitutional oath of office andde
livcred an address.
Mayor Strong Installed.
For the first time in twenty-two
years a mayor not of tho democratic
poiiticism is at the head of the New
York city g ivermneut.
Shortly before noon Tuesday the
outgoing ami incoming mayors met at
the city hall. Alter the usual formal¬
ities an interchange of greetings and
the introduction of the several heads
of the departments to Mr. Strong,
Thomas F. Gilroy took his departure
from the mayor’s office, and, as he has
announced, from political life.
Tho new mayor will have a cieau
slate to work on, as Mr. Gilroy left
nothing unfinished in the routine
work of his office when he retired.
The new board of aldermen will not
organize until next week. The new
sheriff, Mr. Tamsen, entered upon the
duties of his position and so did the
new coroners. Conditions for the new
offieiuls will be somewhat different
from those that have prevailed hereto¬
fore. Under the new state legislation
every species of gambling is prohib¬
ited and classed as a criminal offense.
Rumors of intended resignations of
many officials in the city departments
are rife, but it is generally believed
that the men in possession of these
very coveted places will hold on until
they see whether a power of removal
bill will be passed at Albany.
BIG DEAL IN PHOSPHATE.
The “Peace River Phosphate Mining
Company” Organized.
A Savannah special says: The or¬
ganization of the “Peace River Phos¬
phate Mining Company” lia3 been
completed here, with a capital stock
of $1,250,000, already pakl in, and
permission to increase the sum to $5,
000,000 if desired.
The following officers have been
elected: President, Joseph Hull, of
Savannah ; vice-president, M. F. Knud
son, of New York; treasurer, R, W.
Patterson, of New York; secretary and
assistant treasurer, H. P. Richmond,
of Savannah; directors, George W.
Scott, of Atlanta ; H. M. Comer, Joseph
Hull and H. M. Comer, Jr., of Savan¬
nah ; R. W. Patterson and M. F. Knud
son, of New York.
The organization of the Peace River
Phosphate Mining Company is the big¬
gest move that has been made in phos¬
phates in South Georgia and Florida
in several months. The matter has
been conducted very quietly and little
has been known about the intentions
of those at the head of the enterprise
until the meeting was held in Savan¬
nah.
The company is a consolidation of
all the companies now operating on
Peace river—the Peace River Phos¬
phate Company, the De Soto Phos¬
phate Mining Company, the Arcadia
Phosphate Company and the Charlotte
Harbor Phosphate Company, The
new company control about ninety
miles of the bed of Peace river and the
adjacent valley, amounting in all to
about 24,000 acres of phosphate land.
The territory of the company begins at
Bowling Green and ends at Charlotte
Harbor, Punta Gorda being the ship¬
ping point.
JACKSONVILLE STATISTICS.
Interesting Figures Regarding Traffic,
Marriages, Births and Deaths.
Some of the official statistics of
Jacksonville for the year 1894 are of
special interest. There were shipped
from that port during the twelve
months ended Monday night 92,542,-
335 feet of Florida pine lumber, of
which about 64,000 feet went to do¬
mestic and 8,000,000 to foreign ports.
There were also 1,808,000 cypress, ex¬
clusive of crossties, shipped to coast¬
wise ports. This output of lumber
was by water, the railroad shipments
being also very large. During the
same period 907,277 boxes of orang€6
were shipped from the port to do¬
mestic points. The fire department
was called out 143 times during the
year, 112 of the fires being inside the
fire limits and thirty-one outside. The
loss by fire was very light.
During 1894 there were 464 mar¬
riage licenses issued in the county, 157
to white couples and 307 to colored.
In the city there were 602 births, of
which 233" were whites and 369 colored.
The deaths in the city were 597, only
nine short of the number of births,
the division being 234 whites and 359
colored. Thirty-eight of these deaths
were from violence or accidents, and
seventy of them were of non-resi¬
dents. With a normal population of
27,000 this makes the death rate only
a fraction over 2 per cent, or about
twenty to the thousand.
.MISSOURI’S LEGISLATURE
Under Republican Control for the
First Time in 25 Years.
The general assembly of Missouri
was called to order at Jefferson City
Wednesday and after the new members
were sworn in, the republicans, for the
first time in a quarter of a century,
found themselves in control of the leg¬
islature. There were no contests and
the proceeding* occupied but a few
nustttf*.
MITCHELL IS MAD.
FLORIDA’S GOVERNOR IS DOWN
ON HIS CRITICS.
Beaause They Don’t Approve His Ac¬
tion in the Flagler Matter.
A report was 6ent out from Austin,
Tex., to the effect that Governor
Mitchell, of Florida, had rescinded his
previous action in the matter of hon¬
oring the requisition papers from Gov¬
ernor Hogg, of T- xas, for the arrest
and delivery of H. M. Flagler, of New
York, to Texas officers. The report is
erroneous. Governor Mitchell was
seen at the executive office in the Capi¬
tol Wednesday afternoon and author¬
ized a complete denial of the Austin
story, adding: “I have taken no ac¬
tion whatever in the Flagler matfer
since signing ami forwarding the requi¬
sition to Governor Hogg.”
The governor declined to say wheth¬
er or not he would take any further
action, nor would he say whether or
not any pressure is being brought to
bear upon him from influential people
in and out of Florida. There is a re¬
port, however, that Governor Mitchell
is being besieged on every hand by
politicians and prominent transporta¬
tion people LcAsback down and recall
the papers from Texas.
There are thousands of the gover¬
nor’s friends ami supporters in the
state who are disposed to criticise him
harshly for doing what the governors
of New York and Missouri declined to
do. A leading south Florida lawyer is
authority for the statement that
Mitchell’s action in the Flagler matter
threatens to make a vtry serious divi¬
sion in the ranks of the Mitchell wing
of the democracy in Florida; that
already the governor has spoken and
written very sharply and pointedly to
several leading state administration
democrats who were injudicious
enough to approach him with sugges¬
tions that he rescind his action in the
requisition case.
THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.
The Democrats Hold Their Own
Throughout the State.
Tho democrats made gams in the
county elections Wednesday.
Every county in the state voted for
local officers. The democrats more
than held their own. Not a single
county was lost and several which were
carried by the populists in tho Octo¬
ber elections were redeemed. Among
these are Douglass, Gwinnett, Bartow,
Polk, possibly Meriwether and a num¬
ber of others.
Pike, Monroe, Effingham and other
counties which were contested in the
legislature are democratic by safe ma¬
jorities.
Th8 day was inclement throughout
the greater part of Georgia. Snow
and sleet fell in many counties and
rain in others.

great source of amusement to his fam¬
